["Mark Steudel" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for the help, I figured it out:

This line was giving me grief :) doh!

while( false !== ( $file == readdir( $dir ) ) )

do you have the relevant permissions to unlink() the files in question?
try dumping/collecting some debugging infomation a bit like this
function does:

/* delete everything in the $dir */
function recursiveDelete($dir)
{
    $msgs = array(
        "\n"."\n".'deleting everthing in: '.$dir,
 
"\n".'---------------------------------------------------------------'
    );

    if ($handle = /*@*/opendir($dir)) {
        while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
            if (($file == ".") || ($file == "..")) {
                continue;
            }

            if (is_dir($dir.'/'.$file)) {
               // call self for this directory
               $msgs = array_merge($msgs, recursiveDelete($dir.'/'.$file));
               $r      = rmdir ($dir.'/'.$file);
               $msgs[] = "\n".'deleting dir.: '.$dir.'/'.$file.($r?'
SUCCESSFUL':' FAILED');
            }
            else {
               $r      = unlink($dir.'/'.$file); // remove this file
               $msgs[] = "\n".'deleting file: '.$dir.'/'.$file.($r?'
SUCCESSFUL':' FAILED');
            }

        }

        /*@*/closedir($handle);
        return $msgs;
    }

    /* return an array of messages always - for the call array_merge() */
    return array();
}
